Chapter 2561: Chapter 2562: Complacent

“Heh…”

Zhou Chengtao let out a cold snort through his nose. “I really didn’t expect you to bring a woman to stand up for you.”

Lin Yi smiled lightly. “There are a lot of things you’d never expect. The timing is just right—when things are lively, a game is only fun if played slowly.”

“Brother Liu, since they’ve sent a woman, let me handle this to save your reputation,” Zhou Chengtao said.

“Alright.”

Zhou Chengtao waved his hand, and a man in his thirties stepped forward.

He wasn’t particularly tall, shorter even than Xiao Bing. His skin was dark, his hair cropped short, but his figure was packed with solid muscle.

His name was Ma Nan. He had been practicing Muay Thai since childhood. In Yanjing City, he was a notorious thug unaffiliated with any organization. As long as the price was right, he’d agree to anything.

According to Zhou Chengtao’s original plan, bringing Ma Nan should have been enough to deal with Lin Yi.

But Qi Jingsi wasn’t at ease. If anything else went wrong, it would be his reputation on the line.

For this reason, he had also called the Liu Brothers to Yanjing to ensure the matter was thoroughly resolved, leaving no room for accidents.

“If I’m not mistaken, that guy should be Ma Nan,” Li Shaoming commented.

“You know him?”

“I used to have a subordinate whose wife cheated on him. He came to me for help,” Li Shaoming said.

“At the time, I had just hired Ma Nan for a task, so I had him take care of it.”

“And? What happened in the end?” Qi Jingsi asked.

“That guy’s a brutal one—he broke the other man’s legs clean in two.”

“These Muay Thai fighters all seem to have a savage streak, like they think killing someone isn’t against the law,” Qi Jingsi remarked.

“I get the same vibe. And with people like them, sympathy doesn’t seem to be in their vocabulary,” Li Shaoming added.

“When he got physical, my subordinate’s wife tried to intervene, and he slapped her so hard he broke her jawbone.”

“Well this should be interesting. If Ma Nan really gets into it, won’t he end up killing that woman?”

“Killing is unlikely—this is Yanjing City. Who dares commit murder in broad daylight? But at the very least, she’ll end up in the hospital for a few months.”

“Then let’s enjoy the show. That woman does have a great figure though—what a shame, haha.”

“What’s there to be sorry about? Women of all kinds exist in Yanjing City. As long as you have money, it’s no problem at all.”

“Haha, true that.”

At that moment, Ma Nan stood opposite Xiao Bing.

The entire T3 bar fell silent. Even the music had been turned down to nearly nothing.

Everyone in the room was whispering amongst themselves. Letting a woman step forward—it looked cruel no matter how one viewed it.

“Get lost,” Ma Nan said in a low tone. “I don’t want to hit a woman.”

“You looking down on me?”

“Yes.”

“Then I’ll teach you a lesson today.”

With that, Xiao Bing threw a punch at Ma Nan’s abdomen!

The punch seemed so casual that nobody paid it much mind, especially not Zhou Chengtao and the others.

To them, it was like a scratch at best, incapable of threatening Ma Nan in any way.

After all, these Muay Thai practitioners were known for kicking trees every day. Their offensive and defensive capabilities were top-notch.

How could a woman’s punch possibly hurt him?

But Ma Nan’s expression suddenly changed. His eyes widened, his face flushed red, and he clutched his stomach, frozen in place for a long time.

Zhou Chengtao sensed that something was wrong and frowned. “Ma Nan, why haven’t you made a move yet?”

“Don’t worry, it’s coming,” Ma Nan replied.

“What do you mean—”

Before Zhou Chengtao could finish his sentence, he was stunned to see Ma Nan’s eyes roll back as he collapsed to the floor with a loud thud.

“What the…!”

Everyone around was dumbfounded.

Though they didn’t know exactly how skilled the petite man was, they never imagined that the muscular woman in front of them could possibly overmatch him.

Yet reality proved otherwise—the man had been knocked down with one punch!

“Who is she to be able to take down Ma Nan like that?”

Li Shaoming stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what he had just witnessed.

“If he’s bold enough to let this woman step forward, it clearly isn’t baseless,” Qi Jingsi said, squinting.

“But the real question is, what kind of woman has the power to take down someone like Ma Nan with a single hit?”

“That’s hard to say. After all, with 1.4 billion people in China, there are bound to be countless hidden martial masters. It’s not unusual for him to find a few of them; otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to be so cocky.”

Li Shaoming nodded, seeming to agree with Qi Jingsi’s assessment.

“Good thing you called the Liu Brothers; otherwise, this could’ve gone sideways today.”

“That’s exactly what I was worried about,” Qi Jingsi said. “Thankfully, I prepared for both possibilities.”

By this time, on the bar’s first floor, Ma Nan—who had lost consciousness—had already been carried out.

No one dared to underestimate Xiao Bing anymore.

The woman standing before them clearly wasn’t someone to be trifled with—her skills were exceptional.

The Liu Brothers voluntarily stepped forward. After what had just transpired, their expressions had grown markedly more cautious.

“Young lady, impressive skills. Where did you learn them? It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a woman as tough as you,” Liu Yongcheng, the younger of the two, remarked.

“That’s a secret. Can’t tell you, or else I’d be breaking the rules.”

The members of the Central Guards Brigade burst out laughing. Xiao Bing’s mannerisms were growing increasingly similar to Lin Yi’s.

“Doesn’t matter if you don’t say. That’s not really our focus anyway.”

Liu Yongcheng pointed at Lin Yi. “Our target is him. If you want to stand up for him, you’d better think carefully about your own limits.”

“What’s with all this dithering? Full-grown man, yet you’re fumbling around just to fight. People like you annoy me the most,” Zhang Chaoyue grumbled, tossing a wine bottle at Liu Yongcheng.

Liu Yongcheng reacted quickly, tilting his head to dodge the bottle.

The spectators were taken aback. Tossing aside a wine bottle worth tens of thousands of dollars like that? These people really had money to burn.

Seeing this, Lin Yi and the others exchanged a glance, confirming their previous speculations.

The skill levels of these two men had likely reached E-level, already surpassing ordinary human limits.

Enraged by Zhang Chaoyue’s tossed bottle, Liu Yongcheng charged at him with all his might.

“Hey, hey, hey! I’m right here. What are you doing going after my friend?”

Xiao Bing reached out and grabbed Liu Yongcheng’s wrist, stopping him just as he was about to reach Zhang Chaoyue. He couldn’t move an inch further.

This seemingly simple move sent a wave of unease through Liu Yongcheng.

The woman before him was far stronger than he had anticipated!

At this point, showing her any leniency would be foolish.

Liu Yongcheng pivoted on his right foot, whipping his left leg out like a lash!

But Xiao Bing had foreseen the move. She dodged effortlessly, then countered with the same technique, landing a solid kick to Liu Yongcheng’s face!
